gzt: Trump says indictments increase his popularity


Republicans accuse the "libtards" as being "snowflakes", even producing an energy drink called "Liberal tears" However Republicans leap at any chance of being the victim.

You may have noticed Trump rallies always begin with Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA", a song written 1984. Note he's had only 3 hits on the country music charts, last being the song.

Neither here or there, frankly I like better the song "God Bless America" by Irving Berlin, 1954.

Anyhow in 2008 then-President George W. Bush nominated Lee for the National Council on the Arts, and the Senate confirmed his appointment.

These are not permanent appointments, and his expired in 2021.

As several appointments expire. Biden nominated someone to replace Lee, along with replacing six Obama nominees.

However the conservative press had many, many stories that it was all political

Some Fox News headlines:
  • "Cancel culture mob attacked Jason Aldean. They came for 'God Bless the USA.' But they can't cancel all of us"

  • "Lee Greenwood 'shocked' by being replaced on arts council by Biden administration"

Lee Greenwood responds to President Biden replacing him on the Arts Council

The NY Times - Coup-Coup-Ca-Choo, Trump-Style

 

05 August 2023

 


WASHINGTON - The man who tried to overthrow the government he was running was held Thursday by the government he tried to overthrow, a few blocks from where the attempted overthrow took place and a stone’s throw from the White House he yearns to return to, to protect himself from the government he tried to overthrow.

 

Donald Trump is in the dock for trying to cheat America out of a fair election and body-snatch the true electors. But the arrest of Trump does not arrest the coup.

 

The fact is, we’re mid-coup, not post-coup.

 

The former president is still in the midst of his diabolical “Who will rid me of this meddlesome democracy?” plot, hoping his dark knights will gallop off to get the job done.

 

Trump is tied with President Biden in a New York Times/Siena College poll, and if he gets back in the Oval Office, there will be an Oppenheimer-size narcissistic explosion, as he once more worms out of consequences and defiles democracy. 

 

His father disdained losers and Trump would rather ruin the country than admit he lost.

I missed this story 5 months ago.

Trump's world: "Why build a bridge when it's easier to destroy a bridge?" Or shorter "mine, Mine MINE!

Politico: Trump to GOP firms: Stop using my image or your clients will suffer

A memo sent on Thursday makes clear, the Trump campaign wants the digital dollars going to them.

The Trump campaign has sent a warning shot to the Republican Party’s House campaign arm and some of its most prominent digital consultants: Stop using the former president’s image and likeness in your fundraising pitches or you will pay.

In a letter sent on Thursday afternoon to the National Republican Campaign Committee and ten GOP consulting firms, Trump’s top two campaign officials, Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, said the former president may not endorse candidates who used firms that were fundraising off of Trump without his consent.

Honour amongst thieves? 

 

Donald Trump, the premier snake-oil purveyor of our time, is demanding a generous commission from his GOP partners in crime (AKA "digital consultants").

One of the many loony obsessions of Republicans is (imaginary) groomers. Maybe they should look within their own ranks if they want to find groomers.

The term of art for this is crybullies. Republicans are some of the world's biggest crybullies.

The bad thing is not that the leaders become crazy. The bad thing is that every would-be leader of the smallest donkey state just thinks that how they can get away with it, they can (and do) do the same to their people. Trump is an open call to loot his own people for base motives.

Please, let him get contempt of court, and thrown in jail early.

Sarcasm: Wow his completely unexpected ploy to drag out the trial, until he becomes El Presidente and pardons himself was discovered.

It almost like she knows his tactics beforehand.

Who'd have thunk?

Blind panic, and in self-destruct mode.  😮

 

 

 


EDIT :  Reuters - Trump targets DC judge in 2020 election case

 

Trump faces a 5 p.m. (2100 GMT) Monday deadline to respond to the U.S. government's proposed protective order aimed at protecting witnesses and evidence in the case after Chutkan denied his bid for a delay.

There he goes again, constantly playing the victim. I hope the judge and the case both stay exactly where they are.

Maybe he should ask for a delay due to a "bad hair day?" It's more plausible than the other excuses he'll be piling on.

Keep 'em coming Trump; it's always a good idea to piss off the judge.
